Tell and Relocate

"You rushed out of the loft again. And before breakfast nonetheless." Castle said.

"I know; I was there when it all played out." Beckett responded.

"So what did you decide?"

"I took it. Time for a new home."

"A new home for our merry band of misfits." Ryan said.

"Nice bro."

"Very nice." Castle commented.

"Gates is okay with this?"

"She is; told her that we'd help her out if needed."

With that Beckett and the boys packed their things so they could relocate to their new precinct. When they arrived at the 54th; the police commissioner would be there to help them transition.

Hours later the merry band of misfits that had called the 12th precinct home for years took their last walk and ride in the elevator.

Beckett knew on the ride over to the 54th that the transition would be hard. But she was ready for it. She did have Castle at her side just as she had for years now. Beckett also had Ryan and Espo with her so all was good.

When they got to the 54th; the commissioner was running late. So while they waited; Beckett wandered into her what looked like her new office.

It all sunk in when Beckett saw the inside of the office.

Captain Katherine Beckett – Castle

Seeing her name on the name plate like the one that Montgomery had when he was Captain at the 12th and how Gates' had her; Beckett felt like she had made it. Just as she was starting to think of how this wasn't her original game plan and how her mother's murder switched things around; Beckett was joined by Castle who had come up behind her. He put a comforting hand on her shoulder. There was a bit of silence between them at first. Beckett was still taking everything just as Castle was.

"I like the name plate." Castle said breaking the moratorium of silence between them.

Beckett laughed. Castle always knew the right things to say. He always knew what to say that would get her to smile or laugh.

"I like it too. It has a nice ring to it." Beckett said.

"That it does; Captain Beckett – Castle."

Beckett smiled and laughed again as she transitioned into the mode of proving herself to the in house detectives and uniforms of the 54th precinct.
